Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا إدريس الخولاني، عن الوليد بن يزيد، عن أبيه، عن شفي الأصبحي، قال: " يلي خمسة من ولد العباس كلهم جبابرة، ويل للأرض منهم، يموت خامس بني العباس يثب عليه واثب شبه الأسد، يأكل بفمه ويفسد بيديه، السموات تضج إلى الله تعالى مما يهراق على الأرض من الدماء، يملك غداتين أو ثلاثة، ثم يلي وال من بعض إخوة الإبل، ثم يلي وال ينادي مناد من السماء: الأرض أرض الله، والعبيد عبيد الله، مال الله بين عبيده بالسوية، يملك في هذه الولاية عشر سنين "

Five of the sons of Abbas will follow, all of them are titans. Woe to the earth among them. The fifth of the sons of Abbas will die, and a leaper like a lion will leap upon him. He will eat with his mouth and spoil with his hands. The heavens will rejoice to Allah Almighty because of the blood that is being spilled on the earth. He will reign two or three mornings. Then he will follow a ruler of some of the brothers of the camels. Then he will come and a caller will call from the heavens: The earth is Allah’s land, and the servants are Allah’s servants. Allah’s wealth is equal among His servants. He reigns in this state for ten years.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #606 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: The Abbasids, descendants of the Prophet's uncle al-Abbas, overthrew the Umayyads in 132 AH and ruled from Baghdad. Some reports are said to foretell their rise.

[Described Characteristics]: The reports that name them, or speak of a ruler called al-Saffah, are weak, and some were spread during the revolution itself. No sahih narration names the Abbasids.

[Timeline & Context]: They ruled from the second to the seventh Islamic century, until the Mongols ended their caliphate in Baghdad in 656 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: When a movement claims prophecy for itself, check the grade of the narration first.

[Core Subject]: A 'cry' or voice heard in Ramadan is reported among the tribulations before the Mahdi. The reports are weak, coming mainly through Nu'aym's Kitab al-Fitan.

[Described Characteristics]: Reports in Nu'aym's Kitab al-Fitan mention 'a voice in Ramadan, an uproar in Shawwal, and in Dhu al-Qa'da the tribes take sides', among the disturbances preceding the Mahdi (e.g. Kitab al-Fitan, reports 629 and 631). These chains are weak and the collection is ungraded.

[Timeline & Context]: Placed in the weak Mahdi-era reports; it is not established by sound narration and carries no date.

[Prophetic Practice]: Weigh reports by their authenticity: hold to what the sound narrations teach, and treat weak, unverified reports as neither belief nor a timetable.
